Selene can't stop smiling and nodding at the same time. It's her first outing since she married Lyon, and it's also their first outing together.

"Then let's go," Lyon said as he supported Selene's walk with his arms.

"Hmm, it looks like getting drunk is the best way for you to agree to my request..." Selene remarked as she walked alongside Lyon.

"I will advise you not to do this again because the next time I see you getting drunk, different things might happen..." Lyon replied as he opened the car door.

Selene sighed, but the joy in her eyes was still visible. If the rogue doesn't show up, he's not Lyon Armstrong... She thinks to herself.

    Rein didn't lose sight of Selene in the middle of the meal, while Lyon and Lucas were busy talking. She kept an eye on her movements and eating habits, but not as closely as she had expected."Mrs. Armstrong, I finally met you too... Um, you're not the type of woman I expected Lyon Armstrong to marry," Rein began, as if insulting Selene.
